Properly resharpening HSS keyway broaches (
)
In-house in Reutlingen — fast, precise, and cost-effective. We professionally recondition worn HSS broach needles and assess whether further resharpening cycles are feasible.
More economical than a new part
A dull clearing tool results in higher cutting forces, poorer surface finishes, and unnecessary scrap. In many cases, resharpening is significantly faster and more cost-effective than manufacturing a new tool.
Save money
In many cases, reconditioning existing HSS broaches is significantly less expensive than purchasing a new part.
Fast processing
By default, re-sharpening is performed within 5 business days of receipt of the goods.
Proven quality
The tools are ground and inspected in-house—with direct quality control by our team.
What is checked and processed during re-sharpening
We fully regrind HSS keyway broaches entirely in-house. During this process, the cutting geometry is professionally restored, and the tool is then inspected.
The exact grinding area depends on the condition of the tool, its geometry, and the wear pattern.
- Regrinding the cutting geometry
- Inspection of the cutting teeth
- Inspection for cracks and damage
- Modification of existing chip breakers
- Dimension check after grinding
- Evaluation of additional refocusing cycles
Blunt vs. Resharpened
The difference is immediately apparent under close inspection—and is directly noticeable in dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and cutting performance.
Common signs of wear and tear
Visible on the workpiece
- Increasing shear forces
- Poorer surface quality
- Burr formation at the groove
- Dimensional deviations
- Changes in chip formation
Identifiable by the tool
- Wear marks on the open surface
- Cutting edges appear dull
- Cavities in individual teeth
- Run-in discoloration or scuffing
- Damaged calibration teeth
Here's how your order will be processed
Submission
Please send your scraping needles to us in Reutlingen.
Exam
We assess the condition, wear, and re-sharpenability.
Re-sharpening
Professional in-house processing followed by quality control.
Return
The tools will be securely packaged and returned to you.
Regrinding profile broaches
In addition to keyway broaches, we also accept profile broaches for regrinding. Please contact us—we will assess the condition of the tools and provide a quote upon request.
Have your reamers inspected
We’d be happy to assess whether regrinding is cost-effective or if we should recommend a replacement. Personal, professional, and straightforward.
